REPAINTING AND RENOVATING

I had fun painting the guest bathroom while Aces was away at the fair last week. I still need to buy a shower curtain and accessories, but unfortunately it is that miserable time of year when all the college kids and their parents are in town for the beginning of the semester and there is nothing left to be purchased at Walmart! Darn. I guess I'll have to make a special run to I.F. to visit a "real" store!We are in the early stages of building a 12x16 deck off of our kitchen. Aces and his friend Pete put the new sliding door in last night. That was a nerve racking experience for me. I was afraid someone would fall out or that the door wouldn't fit or some other tragic nightmare would occur. I am happy to report that by 10:00 last night, the door is in place and the men are fit and sound! It looks great and I can hardly wait for the deck to erect! You are all invited to a BBQ when it's done to celebrate!

And just because I can, here are a couple pics of the two youngest I took today. Look! The baby has actually kept her hair done so far today! It's a miracle!
